Add your comment about the new look and feel of CodeGuru

I am sure that you have worked much on the new look but I
really think that the old one was better!
The reasons are the following:

1. the wavy left margin makes me sick after a while, it
is just like taking a ship in a stormy weather. Please
make it strait.
2. the text goes into that wavy thing many times making
a bad look and making it harder to read.
3. the articles are really (not like you say) taking only
the half of my screen, not like before.

But I still think that this site is the best,
because of its contents.

Thank you for all that work!

There is certainly some licensing issues which need to be rapidly cleared up.
Apparently now Earthweb owns the copyright to these pages. The code copyright however still remains with the authors as they never transferred their rights to Zafir.
Either Earthweb has to change its copyright policy, or negotiate the transfer of rights from each individual author to Earthweb.
What about existing commercial apps based on Codeguru code?
The usefulness of a code site with code that developers cannot use in commercial apps is far more limited.
The road forward as I see it is for someone to set up a new site for all the authors to resubmit their code to, with a useful licensing arrangement (i.e. the old one). I have a few articles in progress that I know will never be submitted here that I will be willing to finish off for a new site.
Its a great shame to lose such a useful resource... perhaps a poll should have been done (Should we sell out to Earthweb?) before the move.

I have sent in a comment about this before. My self and my colleagues preferred the table on the main page.

The layout looks messy without it. Can we have it back please.

Hello,
the site is slow, ok, reading is not easy with the left marge, but ok, it could be a style... (The idea which consists that developer.com try to copy the original codeguru style is a good idea).
My pb (am I the only one?) is that printing is disabled or don't work with netscape 4.6. Very annoying !!

I guess as far as I can see the wave should be removed and the performance of the site should be improved. Actually, I believe that the access speed of the site was reduced after this change. As for the wave it reduces speed even more + reduces readability.

In addition, the thing that I thought should be changed but remained as is the home page of the CodeGuru. The contents are the same for very long times. The topics the voting topic, ...etc.

Thanks,
Victor.

Lets start a site at MSN and get them to take off the banners or whatever they have.. I'm sure they will do it if we ask !!!! Servers are fast too !!!!
Someone start up a central place and lets REBUILD !!!!

I notice that "All pages within this Internet site ("Site") are the property of EarthWeb Inc.". BULL The all of the articles that I contributed belong to ME. I was happy to share them with the user community but I'll be damned if I will have them stolen and have someone else control them.

All of my code and articles on this sites are totally in the public domain and may be used for any purpose, commercial or non-comercial. If EarthWeb has a problem with that then I demand that they remove all of my articles immediately and I will find a proper place to post them.

Ditto.

This is *so* sad.

I tried to add a comment in the database section to the article "RFX_Date using COleDateTime" and got the error file not found

Please could you add the comment:
VC6 now includes an undocumented overloaded RFX_Date which takes a COleDateTime

Liked it the old way a whole lot better.

This is the single most important issue. It deserves a quick response from the new owners of CodeGuru. If EarthWeb expects to own the contributions to this site and the contributions to this site cannot be used commercially, this site will cease and a new one WILL replace it. Can we hear from EarthWeb please....before your customer base leaves.

Please, please, please lose the wave on the side. It's really annoying.

It's a real pain. When I tried to print a page (.../mfc_database/Ado_Aok.shtml) my netscape 4.5 browser starts to spool printing but never completes. IE is slightly better in that it prints but, because of the fixed pages, all the lines are truncated.

I hope Zafir got paid big bucks to $#@$%@#$%#$ what used to be a great site.

I must agree with what others have said. The wavy green graphic sucks ***. I have seen this on all of Developer.coms slow, incredibly hard to read, pages. I would rather have the page layout as before or atleast not all scrunched up like it is. (As viewed on a 1024x768 monitor) I am very dissapointed with the direction this site has now taken. I really used to conider it a good source for information, now like all of developer.com's sites it is a good source of frustration and useless advertisements.
